Bruno D'uva and the Elderly

Longtime entrepreneur Bruno D’Uva serves as director of development and acquisitions at Signature Senior Services, a provider of medical adult day care and senior living facilities in New Jersey. As part of his commitment to the industry and the families that receive care from his services, Bruno D’Uva maintains membership with the New Jersey Adult Day Services Association.

The New Jersey Adult Day Services Association (NJADSA) exists to meet the needs of senior citizens across the state. It focuses on individuals who require treatment or assistance, but are not yet in need of full-time care or institutionalization. The organization represents 6,200 families across New Jersey, helping them keep their loved ones healthy and active.

Medical Adult day services in New Jersey generally care for participants five hours a day. During these hours, seniors can be evaluated by doctors and nurses, socialize, play games, and take advantage of a wide variety of entertaining activities designed to meet certain cognitive needs. Care providers maintain individualized care plans for each client, updated at least quarterly.

Facilities always have at least one nurse on site. Program staff maintain an up-to-date health profile for each client and conduct monthly weigh-ins. A minimum of two nutritionally balanced meal is provided each day, with extra care given to any special dietary needs.

Signature Senior Services director of development and acquisitions Bruno D’Uva recently established two new adult day care facilities in New Jersey and has plans to open a state-of-the-art assisted living facility in 2018. A regional leader in full-service senior care, Bruno D’Uva maintains an interest in changing industry conditions and trends.

As 2017 begins, senior care and living providers are facing an unprecedented level of competition. Senior living centers are changing to meet new needs, take advantage of new technologies, and continually improve the level of care they provide.

According to industry stakeholders, senior living providers are likely to try to fill different niches and differentiate themselves in 2017. Rather than simply expanding offerings in amenities and recreation, facilities may begin to offer better disease management programs and other specialized services.

Service providers will also adapt to better allow senior citizens to live in their own homes. They will likely utilize new technology and expand services outside of their retirement communities. For example, providers may send medication reminders digitally or use remote technology to monitor safety.

Bruno D’Uva received his associate degree in business from Northeastern University in 1996 and went on to earn his bachelor’s degree in business from Seton Hall University in 2000. He has operated real estate development company B. DUva Development, LLC, since 2010. In 2015, he began working as director of development at Signature Senior Services, a company he also co-founded.
